    To One and All...
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The poems in the following * POEMS04.HTM * file have been arranged
    in the order they have been written.   The depth and nature of the
    poems therefore indicate the changes the author experienced during
    the time they were produced. There are more than 540 poems and the
    quality between the first ones and the last ones is remarkable!

    Many of the poems practically wrote themselves and all I had to do
    was sit still long enough for them to come through.  At the time I
    was totally amazed where they all came from.  Often I thought that
    I had become that good all of a sudden.  This naturally is not so,
    for all I did was function as an instrument or channel of the Soul
    I really am. I hope that many of these poems speak to the Soul you
    are, and if so; they really come from you!

    The poems in all their "simplicity and profoundness" form a course
    in metaphysics just by themselves.  It is possible therefore to go
    through them one by one, and learn more than by reading a stack of
    books.  The poems in these files are aspects of my Higher Self and
    with great pleasure do I hereby dedicate them:
           - To the World of Man and his Infinite Endeavours -

     Only because of the steady performance of my Benefactors have my
     poems been realized.  Humbly I acknowledge the great changes and
     growth that took place within me in the years 1979 to 1984.

                            Sincerely yours,
                                         Gerardus Everardus Tros

                             TAKE YOUR TIME
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            If in this Life with daily pressure
                             I just could lift you
                             and give you pleasure
                             that would be Happiness...
                                             it surely would.

                    I'm wishing and wishing...
                                         that I really could.

            For lifting you.... a mile up high
                  into the lightness of brilliant Sky
                                 is my Wish and my Endeavour.

                                 And I will try and try...
                                               until forever.

            And while I sit... and write... and think...
                              I do not want you tickled pink.

            No... just to lift you...
                                  a mile up high
                         into the lightness of brilliant Sky.

            So... when you read this....
                           and understand
                  imagine sitting upon God's Hand
                  while by this little verse and rhyme
                                     I got you smiling
                                           so take your time.

                             AND WILL YET BE
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

             When she looks up and looks at me
                         there is nowhere else I want to be.
             For in her eyes I see the Glance
                           that takes my Spirit for a Dance.

             And then there is her joyful smile
                   that lights her face... just for a while
             Enough to show a gentle ease
                    of feelings softer than a summer-breeze.

             Then...
                when I write and think of this
                my Soul is just bursting full of Bliss
                         For not in Heaven will I find
                              a greater Love... of any kind.

             So stay on close... my greatest Love
                              to lift me to the skies above.

             Where I can dream of You and Me
                                   of all that is...
                                            and will yet be.

                           FOR SOULS TO UNFOLD
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      It's a beautiful day... and I'm free as a bird
             I can write what I want... and what's never been heard.
      And while I just sit here... with open mind
                        The words just flow in... friendly and kind.

      I really don't know... why this should be so
                    But maybe some thinking... will help me to know.
      I'll give you my opinion... and also my guess
                     Maybe we'll come... to the bottom of this mess.

      Before I was... there were millions before
                         Who somehow... someway... stand at my door.
      And all I have to do... is let my pen guide my hand
                          Creating words and words... we understand.

      It's the Communion of Spirits... who lived before me
                            Guiding my pen... in the Writings to be.
      And I believe that these words... on these simple scrolls
                     Are received by me... but are created by Souls.

      And all I just do... in a way that is but small
                             is let the ink flow... and have a ball.
      For somehow... everyone secretly believes
                           That it is I... who creates these briefs.

      But the Spirit's of Eons... whisper to me
                     Their Wisdom of Ages... in words that are free.

      For me and my readers... both young and old
                      To be read and enjoyed... for Souls to unfold.

                           I AM THE DREAMER OF
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Oh yes I...
                 this Organ of the Universe
                         tied by a million strings
                                    live but in a dream
                                             and am dreaming.

            But Soul...
                 let me awaken...
                          and find my Goal.

                 Yes Soul...
                      let me seek Aloneness.
                                And let me take off
                                       on this Mystic Flight.

            Undisturbed...
                  by the Distractions of the Earth.
                             Where the Vulgar but speak
                                               to the Vulgar.

            Yes Soul...
                 let me take off
                        into the Flight of the Alone
                                                to the Alone.

            To find the Mystic Reality of Creation.
                          In which I am 'One' with All.
                                        And 'All' in Oneness.

            Yes Soul...
                 let me flee in Solitude.
                              To find the Dream...
                                         I am the Dreamer of.

                                IN LIVING
                                ~~~~~~~~~

              Death...
                 this dreadful disease
                     so feared by many
                               and met by all
                                        is but a sleep
                                     in slumbering Beauty.

              A Beauty...
                 created by each man
                           in his own way.

                    A living... wherein each man
                        is yet in touch with equals
                              likewise in need and wishes.

              And connected by Beings
                       in shared fantasies
                                     and capricious moods.

                 To last Eternal.
                      As in a dream without awakening.

              Until...
                  until... again...
                        we are bambino.
                                And full of Life...
                                               and Lustre.

              Wondering....
                  from where we came
                                to find such Beauty...
                                                in Living.

                               IT'S SIMPLE
                               ~~~~~~~~~~~

            Whether you believe it or not
               or whether you can see it or not
                           The Truth is still the same.
                                 And unalterable.
                                           The Truth is Love.

           And when I say...
              that each time I see you...
                      - I love you a little more -
                                           I speak the Truth.

           For whatever you are...
                               or are not
                    - Your Total Being is my Being -
                                   and that's why I love you.

           For in the Universe...
                 there is but One Reality.
                        And that Reality is Love.

                        A Universe full of it...
                                      With you as part of it.

             Part of my Love.
                       Part of my Truth.
                                   Part of 'All That Is'.

                     And part of me.    It's simple.

                        AND NEVER DIMS COMPLETELY
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            The preacher... yes... that is the one
                                  the repeater of fairy tales.
            About the crosses and the lost Kingdoms
                           about the sins and the redemptions.

            To the Children...
                that are but deaf and blind
                          and are lost between the words
                                            that are repeated.

                     For the Speakers... before him
                          whose story he tells
                     were but repeaters themselves.

            And his thoughts...
               are but the echo of the Earth
                           crying for newness and originality.

            And all the fear that he instilled
                 and all the grace he gave abundantly
                        never brought his Children any closer.

            For the Truth... that was there all along...
               inside each and every one of them
                      has been obscured and drowned out
                               by the words that are repeated.

            But the Truth...
               that flickering Light of Wisdom
                          can yet be found... by them
                                        that are but thinking.

            For nothing can be hidden too deeply
                            or it can be rediscovered... anew.

                  For none of us can be lost
                            by too many words forever.

            Since the Light is always there....
                                    and never dims completely.

                           AND FIND GOD IN YOU
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

             Before Christ... before Buddha...
                               and before any creed
                        was the Love for Life
                                       and called God indeed.

            And how this can be...
                         since the Beginning of Time
                  will never be solved... by reason or rhyme.

            And to all our questions...
                  of how... for what... or why
                                the answers are hidden
                                        beyond Earth and Sky.

            And neither is it religion
                               of whatever belief
                         that will give you the answers
                                              or mind-relief.

            For before all religions
                       and before Man and Mind
                                 was the Love for Life
                                            perfect and kind.

            And this Love for Life
                         called God indeed
                                   created 'All That Is'
                                             and Man in need.

            But 'all' you ever...
                        just have to do
                              is to look deep inside
                                         and find God in YOU.

                            FOR JUST ONE PAIR
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            How can I touch... your Soul so closed
                          and speak to eyes that seem opposed.
            How can I touch... your Soul so hidden
                  with words and words... that seem forbidden.

            How can I touch... your fenced-in mind
                      enclosed in silence... and burden blind.
            How can I touch... your Light inside
                          when sparkle by sparkle slowly died.

            How can I touch... the fire grown cold
                                        with feelings...
                                  and emotions I still behold.

            How can I touch... the You in You
                                  knowing my silence ...
                                                will never do.

            I therefore speak in words that show
                  and bring to mind the Life and Glow
                  that once was there in Love Abound
                             enlightening our sphere so sound.

            So let us reach... from mind to mind
                       in words and words deep and kind
                          creating Spirits in Girandole
                                  and Unity from Soul to Soul.

            And then the time... that's left to share
                      will be too short.... for just one pair.

                              ~~~~~~~~~~~

          Oh yes I...
                looking so wise
                        and full of Wisdom.
                                    I am but a Soul in Travel.

                And on my Earthly Journeys
                               I stop too many times.

                For at Moments of Reflection
                       I seemed to have lost the Way.

          While at other times
                       when it all seems so simple
                         and I even know the Way
                                              I do not travel.

          Why is it my Soul
                that too many me's do interfere?

                              While time goes on
                                          in loneliness.
                                                     Unbroken.

          Show me the Way again my Soul
                so that I may travel continuously.
                     Toward the Goal Eternal
                                     with Speed and Happiness.

          Show me my Soul.
                Show me the Way without stops...
                                     and straight to Eternity.

                Show me the Path
                          to never lose my Way.
                                            Show me now.

                            IN SPACE AND TIME
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            On this Journey around our Star
                          We are slowly grasping what we are.
            Thinking Creatures... with purpose and will
                       Grown from Earth... and growing still.

            But we are not grown from Dirt to fight
                   And create a Hell... where Might is right.
            Rather the experiment of Our Creation
                   Is slowly to become... of Divine-Relation.

            For the ever expanding... in Body and Mind
                    Is the Task as Planned... for Human Kind.

            And to gain control of the Unconscious Part
                     And the Innermost Feelings of the Heart
            Is our Final Goal and Sacred Duty
                 For the Gods we are... are Divine in Beauty.

            And to reach this Goal...
                           in this Universe-Sublime
                              Is by living Lives...
                                           in Space and Time.

                          AND CREATED BUT BY ME
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                If I could be... as Light so Free
                             I'd soar on Rays in passing.
                On pure expanding Mind I'd flee
                              My Knowledge pure amassing.

                In being Light eternal free
                             beyond the Stars' expansion
                My Consciousness and I would be
                              beyond Mankind's Dimension.

                Where Words of Hemospheric Sound
                               are Treasures of the Mind
                Expressing Feelings pleasure bound
                                     of Firmamentic Kind.

                But since I am so finite small
                           and neither Light... nor Free

                My Words are barely Thoughts at all
                                   and created but by me.

                             THE COSMIC WAY
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                Underlying our Conscious Mind
                             is the One of superior kind.

                The One that guides our total Whole
                             and is aware of Cosmic-Goal.

            No evil is found upon its Plane
                    to damage it by thoughts insane.
                 For it is made Pure-Complete
                            and journeys Time without repeat.

            And every time we come around
               our Knowledge becomes of firmer grounds
               as we gain control of the Unconscious Part
                          to shape the Feelings of the Heart.

            And living Lives...
                    are the chances to create...
                          a Conscious Mind of perfect weight.

            To lead us as Man...
                       from day to day...
                                  in this Sojourn...
                                              the Cosmic Way.

                            THE PERFECT FOOL
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          Molecular Biologists in their probing scope
                    have finally found... their killing dope.
          For after years of searching...
                               in their greed and slime
                         They are about to commit...
                                             the Final Crime.

          Their triumphant hall of recombinant DNA
                           will re-shape Man the Chimera-Way.
          And by their studies of the microscopic gene
                   the future of Mankind can clearly be seen.

          A perfect humanoid or clonical man
                          is what they grow in bottle or can.
          And all the qualities and sophistication
                    will finally eliminate... God's Creation.

          For the future of Man...
                    determined by them who know
              will do without emotions... without inner glow.
          No more Feelings... and no more Soul
                        is their final aim... and final goal.

                    The production of perfect Robots
                         with equality in brain
                 is Mankind's future... for money gain.

          For genetic engineering has found the tool
                                        to make poor Man
                                            the Perfect Fool.

               In some Periods of Life
                            when Darkness is Master
                       Time is slow... rather than faster.

                And the experience of being you
                       I faintly remember... in being me.

                                       because I was you.

                             of the 'yous' I left behind
                        and struggled with
                                to become the me... I am.

                               in pure pretense.

                   And when the Star
                               and Sound have passed
                       They echo but
                              his Words at last.

                   And query...
                      faces full of doubt...
                          what was his death...
                                      then all about?

                   Did he then live...
                               for Words alone?
                          What did he say...
                                    what did he moan?

                      I'M THE ONE THAT YOU CALL ???
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            I am the mover on your Earth
                       the first to meet each Life at birth.
            I am the one that can't stand still
                         yet have no shape and have no will.

            I am in openings square and round
                      and when I'm squeezed appear in sound.
            I am in areas light and dark
                            yet never leave a stain or mark.

            I am used by Man and Beast
                            and neither ever care the least.
            I rise to levels mountains high
                            yet never dim the brilliant sky.

            I am never less and never more
                       and in constant use by clown or bore.
            I am the one that's used and abused
                      the last to leave by him who's noosed.

            I flood the world by day and night
                       and in sole support of objects light.
            I am light and yet have force
                           and change a river in its course.

            I am the Medium that does not care
                    for I'm the One... that You call... AIR.

                         OF INEFFABLE LOVELINESS
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                  There are many...
                               I adore
                        But You...
                               You are not one of them.

                  For adoration...
                        is but infatuation...
                                       carried too far.

                      But You...
                            You are the one...
                                  I love and love.

                  For your worthiness...
                         is an expression of reverence.

                  While your needs and wishes
                         and my wishes and needs
                                 complement each other.

                     Into a fulfillment of Joy
                                 and Understanding.

                  That propels us...
                           beyond the limits
                                     of being separate.

                  Into a Mystic-Oneness
                               of Ineffable Loveliness.

                               YOU ARE ME
                               ~~~~~~~~~~

                    When I am with you...
                                  my Space is filled.

                    And while Time disappears
                                    into the Eternal
                           my World collapses
                           into the emptiness
                                      of nothingness.

                         But You...
                             You are there.
                                         Still.

                    United beyond Time and Space
                              with the Thoughts I am.

                      Into a Consciousness
                                 of fulfillment
                             and bliss...
                                 beyond expression.

                   And then I know...
                      that Love propelled us
                                    beyond existence.

                   Beyond Thought and Thinking
                             into the Dimensions
                                     of
                             Super-Consciousness
                                          and Unison.

                   For I am YOU
                            and
                            YOU are ME.

                                 For I am YOU

                                          YOU are ME.

                       GOD IS THIS CONSCIOUSNESS
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                I have no doubt...
                        that I will live
                                   after Death.
                                         And so will You.

                Yet our lives now...
                              are so different...
                      for none of us is on the same Path.

                     Yet...
                         we will all end up
                                 in the same spot.

                This spot is Timeless and Spaceless.
                         For it is Consciousness
                                         or Mind.
                                         The Mind of God.

                Since we are living different now
                               we will be different then.

                      For the Mind of God
                             has different Mansions.

                But all Occupants...
                         live in the House of the Father.

                We all live... in the same Consciousness.

                       God is this Consciousness.
